Focaccia

Crispy Smashed Rosemary Potatoes

Method

Focaccia

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast, letting it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Stir in flour, salt, olive oil, and rosemary until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead and Rise

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Shape and Bake

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and spread it into a greased baking tray. Allow to rise again for 20 minutes, then bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Toppings

  1. 4

    Grill Asparagus

    While the focaccia is baking, heat a grill pan over medium heat. Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

  2. 5

    Poach Eggs

    In a pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a cup and gently slide into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  3. 6

    Prepare Hollandaise

    Whisk together hollandaise sauce according to package instructions or your favorite recipe.

  4. 7

    Crispy Capers

    In a small pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add capers and fry until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Crispy Smashed Rosemary Potatoes

  1. 8

    Boil Potatoes

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add baby potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 9

    Smash and Season

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place potatoes on a greased baking sheet and gently smash each one with the bottom of a glass. Drizzle with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

  3. 10

    Roast Potatoes

    Roast the smashed potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden.
